The Application MIT AI2 Companion has stopped unexpectedly

[Phillip_Hunt]

Friday we had no issues with the Emulator running and Monday when we returned to school it is now giving us this error when we try to connect to the emulator.

I am wondering if a port was blocked on our network at school causing this issue.

I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled it MIT_App_Inventor_Tools_2.3.0_win_setup and still having the same issues.

Any help would be appreciative that I can direct to our IT department.

Thank you,
Mr. Hunt

Welcome Phillip

School IT departments have a difficult job protecting a class' Web safety. Sometimes they block critical things. Sharing this School IT/Network Admins: Information specific to school networks with them might help.

See these links regarding other classes that had and solved emulator issues similar to what you describe by unblocking ports and whitelisting certain url's.

These are district chromebooks. Is there something I can do to get around this? "[mitapp]

In my tests, however, the emulator never works. It ends with a javalang runtime error. Please how do I could fix this issue? My OS is Win10 Home build SO 18363.1016

Is the Appinventor login using a YouTube integration for logon using Google?

I work in Technology for a Middle School and since start of school our Computer Application teacher has been using the MIT Appinventor without any issues with his students. Just this past week when students try logging in, after logon our firewall is blocking further access. I've worked with our network admin and he suspects that MIT is using a YouTube integration for login using Google, and since we have YouTube blocked for students this is what's preventing students from proceeding. Can anyo…

Perhaps one of other's classroom issues is discussed and solved in the above discussions. Is anything there familiar?
